§ 228. Landlord-tenant   relationship.   1.   No  landlord  shall  (a)
interfere with the installation of cable television facilities upon  his
property or premises, except that a landlord may require:
  (1)  that  the  installation of cable television facilities conform to
such reasonable conditions as  are  necessary  to  protect  the  safety,
functioning and appearance of the premises, and the convenience and well
being of other tenants;
  (2)  that  the cable television company or the tenant or a combination
thereof bear the entire cost of the installation, operation  or  removal
of such facilities; and
  (3)  that the cable television company agree to indemnify the landlord
for any damage caused by the installation, operation or removal of  such
facilities.
  (b) demand or accept payment from any tenant, in any form, in exchange
for  permitting  cable  television  service on or within his property or
premises, or from any cable television company in exchange  therefor  in
excess  of  any  amount  which  the  commission  shall,  by  regulation,
determine to be reasonable; or
  (c) discriminate in rental charges or otherwise, between  tenants  who
receive cable television service and those who do not.
  2.  Rental  agreements  and  leases  executed  prior to January first,

section.
  3.  No  cable television company may enter into any agreement with the
owners, lessees or persons controlling or managing buildings served by a
cable television company, or do or permit any act, that would  have  the
effect,  directly  or  indirectly  of  diminishing  or  interfering with
existing rights of any tenant or other occupant of such building to  use
or avail himself of master or individual antenna equipment.
